Understanding Integrated Reporting

Tuesday May 13, 2014

Purchase an NAEM expert-led webinar archive on integrated reporting. You'll walk away with an understanding of the gap between well-established financial reporting and sustainability reporting. As well as gain the basics of integrated reporting as it continues to grow and develop.

Sustainability reporting with a focus on informing stakeholders about a company's sustainable business practices was new in the early 1990s - but, is now a mainstream practice. With different purposes, environmental financial reporting and sustainability reporting each have strengths and weaknesses with regard to effective reporting of a corporation's overall environmental footprint. However, neither may provide a comprehensive perspective on environmental risks and opportunities facing a company, nor fully quantify the potential impacts on company financial performance. Closing this common gap in information would help stakeholders better understand a company's overall environmental footprint and allow more informed business decisions. Integrating environmental disclosure and sustainability reporting is being adopted as a means to that end.

Today the National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM) announced they are partnering with the Center for Retail Compliance (CRC) to encourage knowledge-sharing about best practices in environmental compliance.

NAEM's 2017 EHS&S Software Buyers Guide report reveals that 'Working to provide Greater External Transparency' is among the top reasons why companies are shopping for commercial software to track environment, health and safety and sustainability performance. The expectation for external transparency about environment, health and safety, and sustainability (EHS&S) performance is driving more companies to the commercial software market, according to a research report released today by the National Association for Environmental Management (NAEM).
